This report addresses the main issues of reform for intercollegiate athletics and suggests solutions. The first chapter introduces the core of the report's interest: the place of athletics on the nation's campuses and the imperative to place the well-being of the student-athlete at the forefront of the concerns. The second chapter presents recommendations and outlines a new structure of intercollegiate athletics characterized by the "one-plus-three" model: presidential control directed toward academic integrity, financial integrity, and independent certification. The third chapter calls for a nationwide effort, growing from the campuses outward, to put the "one-plus-three" model into effect and suggests appropriate roles for each of the major groups on campus. Among the recommendations proposed in the report are the following: (1) trustees will delegate to the president the administrative authority to govern the athletics program; (2) the policy role of presidents will be enhanced throughout the decision-making structures of the National Collegiate Athletic Association; (3) an athlete's eligibility each year, and each academic term, will be based on continuous progress toward graduation within 5 years of enrollment; and (4) contracts for athletics-related outside income of coaches and administrators, including shoe and equipment contracts, will be negotiated through the university. Contains an appendix. (GLR)
